T3 in Pregnancy and breast feeding
I am trying to assist a friend late 30’s who is now about 17 weeks pregnant. She has been on a combination of Levothyroxine and Liothyronine for many years and has been well. Her drs have stopped the Liothyronine and upped her Levothyroxine, informing her Liothyronine is not licenced in pregnancy

Looking for a substitute for NP Thyroid/Armor Thyroid in Europe
Hello all, I am currently in Europe running out of options to refill my NP Thyroid medication. From what I have found online, Armor Thyroid is an equivalent, and after asking my US Doctor, he said it should be ok to take. I have tried via Roseway labs but, not being a UK citizen, the doctor isn't sure

iron and b12 test results
How am I doing with iron and b12? i posted before about my thyroid results and have reduced my Levo a tiny amount pending testing again in a few weeks time I now have the rest of my results (minus ferritin and folate ) from MMH. I can see that my iron and b12 are not dire but neither are they optimal

Urine/Cortisol Tests
I have now had my appointment at the endocrine clinic. The doctor was not really interested in my symptoms as I have ‘bloods normal’. He did not look at the comprehensive Medichecks blood profile only those relating to thyroid although the ranges are all good across the tests. After insisting

Can anyone help interpret my iron panel results 🙏
I managed to get my doctor to do a full iron panel due to my ferritin being at only 43 (20.0 - 130.0) I have attached a the results of the iron panel test, can anyone interpret these?? I am wondering whether to start back on my ferrous fumarate 210mg tablets…. I stopped these quite a few years back

Thyroxin and throat/ neck pain
Hi, I’ve been on thyroxin for four weeks now. I’m getting a weird ache in my neck/ throat, like it’s harder to swallow. It’s not painful as such, it just feels weird. Is this normal? Is my thyroid just adjusting to the meds? Thank you

Guess What!!!!!
The GP has reduced my T3 by 10mcg and replace with 25mcg T4 (levothyroxine) !!!!! (I'm stunned). As the majority on this forum are aware I've had no problems with T3 but I think this GP must believe that a combination of T4/T3 is superior.

should T3 make you feel worse?
good morning all, further to my post last week, I commenced T3 2.5. at the start of this week following 5 days reducing my levo from 100 to 87.5( as my T4 was at the very top of the range). I am taking the T3 together with my levo first thing in the morning. My question is how should I feel? I felt ok

Body feels on edge
I can only describe this as an inner unease, it’s physical and it is accompanied by a hissing in my ear, sometimes this eases and I can feel my body is more at rest but it can rave up before a headache. I feel it is my body looking for something/lacking - could this be my low thyroid hormones/T3?

NDT to T3 & T4 - brands, and how to transition?
I'm wondering how to make the transition from NDT to T3 & T4, specifically how slowly is it best to go and which brands of T3 & T4 are most widely accepted/least likely to cause reactions? I'm assuming I would translate my current dose of 1.75 grain NDT into the equivalent T3 & T4 and start on that?

What could cause such dramatic weight gain
I have currently been on .1 mg Synthroid and 5 mcg Cytomel for three months, and while the blue lips, freezing cold and fatigue are gone, my legs are super swollen and hard, my "weight" is up 20 pounds in two months (unexplained by diet / lifestyle). Nutrients of importance are almost optimal and still

So my sister has just found that she has haemochromatosis...
I've nagged her to follow up on her high ferritin results for the last year or so, though GP seemed disinterested with it above 700 so I sent her to give blood which bought it down to 400. Since then we have successfully got her GP to acknowledge her Hypothyroidism and prescribe T4 and I got her to

Lanzoprazole and side effects
Hello, I am over 2 years past Ivor Lewis oesophagectomy and have been taking Lanzoprazole 15mg once a day, then Gavison at night. I’ve found that my folate and ferritin are low , probably caused by ppi use and wonder if anyone has managed to come off them. I know they have lots of potential bad effects

Help! Can't find a pharmacy that stocks Roma T3!
I've been ringing around pharmacies in Stoke-on-Trent and no one stocks Roma Pharmaceuticals T3, nor can they order it from their wholesalers!Are there any NHS online pharmacies that stock them? If there aren't any, I'm back to ordering Mexican Cynomel. Is there anyone that has recently ordered from
